Worldquote

We need to use Country quotes for our international sales.
When checking out Worldquote calculates the shipping costs fine until clicking 'review order'. Then we receive the message 'Product "Book 1" (SKU: 1 ) does not have its weight units set.' And we can not go to payment.

Everywhere we look the weight units seemed to appear fine.

Does anyone know what the problem could be?

kind regards,

you can do conttry quotes with the flatrate Module and workflow-ng just setup a flatrate for every country and then in the workflow-ng settings make the flatrate available for orders in this country... so you don't need worldquote....

Thanks. Good tip, but new problem arises.

I installed Flat Rate per country. Base Price = 2, Default Price = 0

Works fine, however. When adding a very heavy product the total shipping costs should be higher.
In product page of this heavy product I entered $ 5 for Flat Rate.

With Check out it calculates exactly 2 (Base) + 5 (Flat Rate Heavy Product) = $ 7.

However, when clicking Review Order the $ 5 has vanished and only the $ 2 of the Base remains.

Can not find the answer to this problem.

Any suggestions?

If I remember well, there is 2 major problems to combine flatrate and workflow NG to provide world shipping quote :

- It's very long to setup (if you want to ship to more than 50 country, you will lose one week to set up all rules...)
- You only can have one price by country (no price by weight so...)

That's why i think the worldquote module is better for that work and I use it. For sure, it would need some work to remove some bug and optimise the code, but I think it's better to spend some hours to improve that module that create rules with flatrate and workflow...

Well, not entirely true. In Flaterate, as in Worldquote, you can assign several countries to one flatrate. So Europe can be divided in 3 regions and then there is the US and The Rest of the World. Not much work.

The real problem is when an order exceeds the flatrate postage. The Flatrate at the Productpage overrules the default in the Admin Flatrate. So it should work when person add an expensive artifact to an order. However, only when clicking 'Review Order' it goes wrong. Till then it works out the calculations pretty fine.

What happens then when the last button is clicked? This can't be a big problem?
